Preparing the Camcorder
Attaching the Lens Hood
While recording, the supplied lens hood with lens barrier is
effective for reducing stray light that can be the cause of lens
flare and ghost images. Additionally, closing the lens barrier
can help prevent fingerprints and dirt accumulation on the
lens.
1 Remove the lens cap.
2 Align the groove on the lens hood with the index
mark on the top of the lens (
햲), and then turn the
lens hood clockwise until it stops with a click
(햳).
• Be careful not to deform the lens hood.
• Make sure that the lens hood is aligned with the thread.
To remove the lens hood
1Press and hold the lens hood release button and turn
the lens hood counterclockwise.
2 Place the lens cap back on the lens.
NOTES
